The committee on water works sub
mitted the following report on the PEE
tition OF q. r. Scougal, e. 81. Van
Antwerp and others for an artesian we'll
on college hill, which report on motion
ives adopted:
To the Hon. Mayor and Council, Yank-
ton, Dakota-Gentlemen: Your COM
mlttee on water works to whom was re-
ferred the petition OF A. f. Bartlett, Geo.
r. Scougal, 3. u. Hudson and others
for the sinking of an artesian we'll and
the extension of the water system in the
north part of the CITY have given the
same due consideration. The advantages
set forth in said petition arising from
the sinking of an additional we'll as weil
az the rights claimed by the petitioners
are incontrovertible. We feel that JUS
tioe and good policy will necessitate the
granting of the petition at the earliest
date possible. The amount Of funds
required for that purpose will fall but
little short of $4,000, an amount not
now at the disposal OF this council, and
one that could not be raised without q
vote Of the people fayoring the issue OF
bonds for said amount. 1t is too late to
attempt the carrying ont of the project
this year, and our committee feels
compelled to recommend that the grant
ing OF the petition be deferred for the
| present.
Respectfully Submitted,
JACOB BRAUoH.
